Bernard Parham is a chess master.
Ok so lets get some facts out there
Banard Parham is currently rated 2000 and hasnt been rated 2200+ since 1994, he had a 2 year stint as a 2200 player from 92-94 . He was clearly a very talented tactician back in the day but the only reason he is maintaining a rating now is due to a fixed rating floor of 2000. For the last 10+ years his tournament history shows him frequently dropping games to Class C players and struggling against equal or stronger opposition. Clearly his name attached to this idea is just maintaining his fame. His approach just makes him marketable to those players looking for a secret way to win and not the validity of it.
Actually, he specifically plays Matrix Chess, and has a 2000+ rating, I think that shows for something...
there is such thing as a rating floor, he would have dropped below it, had it not been for it
Yes, but you don't reach a master level w/o being pretty good, so his matrix system obviously works.
errr sure but the question is did he play it while he was a master? and did it actually limit him? clearly he hasnt maintained that level for almost 20 years. He has flat lined his rap;id and otb ratings and cannt drop below which I am sure he would. If you look at his recent stats he is probably closer to 1800-1900 at best. This is probably the result of his insistance to the matrix system. It would be interesting to know what local masters think of him, honestly.,..
He first saw chess being played in local parks. He noticed whoever got their queen out first usually won. When he went to college, he saw a relationship between vectors and chess. Then he invented the matrix system. He played this his whole chess career, because that is how he learned chess. He also reached a master level, so I'm assuming it works...
whaaa.... You're not a GM. whaaa.... you suck.
you're an 1886, that's like 1700USCF, you're not a chess master, keep dreaming.
Lol this sites ratings are inflated by like 150 points, so 1726. And Bernard Parham would crush you.
We were actually just discussing how Bernard Parham became a chess master by exclusively playing 2. Qh5
I don't think I'm better then chess masters, neither should you :P
Idk, I thought they were both the same system.
